     Evil-Relationships  are  BOTH  signs-of personal-and-
communal  disintegrations  AND  threats-to   personal-and-
communal  disintegrations.    It is futile to ask which is
cause  and  what  is effect.    Asking and  answering  the
question demonstrates a tragic lack of integrity;  because
there  are  far  more helpful ways of  spending  time  and
energy.

     What  then are some reliable signs-of  and  warnings-
about both personal and communal disintegrations; e.g., of
Evil-Relationships? Consider:

     The absense of MUTUAL:

     1.  Understanding/comprehension.
     2.  Dialogue/listening.
     3.  Concern/sympathy.
     4.  Cooperation/colaboration.
     5.  Intimacy/vulnerability.
     6.  Support/complementation.
     7.  Respect/honor.
     8.  Trust/dependence.
     9.  Forgivenes/reconciliation/healing.
    10.  Acceptance and tolerance.


     The frequent and prevasive presence of:

     1.  Enmity/confusion/chaos.
     2.  Alienation/attacks.
     3.  Indifference/annimosity.
     4.  Contentiousness/domination.
     5.  Coercion/abuse/violence.
     6.  Denigration/exclusivity/rejections.
     7...Compulsive competition at others' expense.
     8.  Suspicion/secrecy.
     9.  Anger/resentment.
    10.  Arrogance/self-righteousness.

     Note that in the above, it is RELATIONSHIPS which are
viewed as EVIL.   Individual-persons may be trapped within
EVIL-RELATIONSHPS and therein tragically regard each other
as  EVIL-PERSONS  because  of their involvement  in  EVIL-
RELATIONSHIPS.

     Healthy persons who  are  not  trapped  within  EVIL-
RELATIONSHIPS,  do  NOT regard each other as EVIL-PERSONS;
nor  do  they  regard individual persons  who  are trapped
within EVIL-RELATIONSHIPS as EVIL-PERSONS.

     It does no person any real-good to regard INDIVIDUAL-
PERSONS as EVIL-PERSONS:  not the persons so labeled,  not
the labelers, not the bystanders, not those who gain power
and/or wealth, etc.
